Clone the largest of the chrome circles (Ctrl k) and reduce the size to to 60 pixels. Select the larger chrome circle with the Fill Tool and move the center of the fill down a small distance as shown above. Select all the wheel parts and reduce the size to 70% (enter 70 in the Height or Width % text entry box on the Infobar and press Enter to apply the change). Select all the wheel objects, duplicate them (Ctrl d) and reduce the size of the duplicate to 90%. Delete the small center chrome circle leaving the objects shown above right.
We are now working with the smaller duplicate to create the inside of the smaller wheel. Select the chrome circle (do not select the 2 O-shapes), and change the Fill Type to Conical. Use the colors and color positions shown above.
Using the Rectangle Tool, create a rectangle that is 200 by 24 pixels. Click the Curved Corners icon on the Infobar to round the corners. Position the rectangle as shown above. Select Curvature from the drop down list and change the amount to 0.7 to round the ends. TIP: If you adjust the size of the rectangle before you curve the corners, the corner roundness will be distorted. So, create your rectangle and adjust it to the correct size. Now, with Snap to Objects enabled (press the red magnet icon on the Infobar) drag a new rectangle over the edited rectangle and snap the start and end points to the rectangle. Now when you apply Curved Corners and set the Curvature the roundness will be OK. Delete the edited rectangle.
Apply a Linear fill to the rectangle using the colors and positions shown above. Use the Zoom Tool (Alt z) to get close before you edit the fill. TIP: The quick way to apply a Linear fill is to click and drag the Fill Tool on the object. Click to select the object then drag. Hold down the Ctrl key to constrain the fill to vertical, horizontal, or a small group of angles.
